[Love of the Divine Tree]

[Episode 40]

I am the tower,

and the tower is me.

As long as the Three Thousand Realms don't rise,

I will be immortal and indestructible.

What do you have to defeat me?

Using your own mortal body
to become such a heaven-defying evil being.

Even if you enter the Three Thousand Realms,

your cultivation will be completely destroyed,

and you'll become a mortal!

But with my talent, even if I have
to start cultivating all over again,

it won't take me long.

If you don't comply with my wishes,

I'll destroy another realm

and rebuild the Three Thousand Realms Tower.

Dun Tian has gone mad.

We only have one option left now.

Yu?

He has been fighting with me for years.

I know him well.

In Su Yu's heart, there must still be attachment.

He definitely won't bear
to see this realm destroyed.

Su Yu!

Wake up!

Su Yu is more than willing
to come with me to the Three Thousand Realms.

Su Yishui.

Save your breath.

Su Yu!

If you can't protect the universe,
hand your position over to me.

Don't be a loser!

Wake up!

Yu, leave the altar!

Don't let this realm be destroyed.

Don't let Dun Tian get what he wants!

Ranran?

Su Yishui?

Su Yu!

You and I have been fighting for so many years.

If you still have any dignity
as the Crown Prince in your heart,

step out of the altar!

If you can't protect the universe, just admit it.

Don't flee to the Three
Thousand Realms like a deserter!

Stop daydreaming!

How could the two of you

possibly make him waver?

Su Yishui.

You, a defeated opponent of mine,

sure love to boast.

The universe is mine.

If anyone's going to protect it, it'll be me.

Devil-breaking Cone?

When I deliberately let you bring me here,

I'd already had everything planned.

Why?

Our plan

was about to succeed!

Why are you doing this?

Don't you want to live a life
where all your wishes come true?

I do!

But...

I can't picture what it looks like.

It's great to have all your wishes come true,

but not once,

not even once, have I been able to truly imagine

what that scene would be like!

Maybe Feihua was right.

A world like that

ultimately doesn't belong to me.

You really let me down.

Right?

I'm surprised too.

Setbacks

are unavoidable in life.

But each one of these setbacks

is unique.

Some people hate me,

while others love me.

Some reject me,

while others cherish me.

These experiences alternate,

filling my memories.

But looking back now,

every single one

is deeply etched in my heart.

Dun Tian!

I know you won't let me go!

And neither will I

forgive myself.

Ranran.

Ranran!

Tell Feihua that

I'm grateful to her for waking me up.

In this life,

I've actually lived

quite well.

Yu!

It's okay.

Even though both of you are dead, it's okay.

You'll become nourishment
for the Three Thousand Realms Tower!

There's still time.

Even though they died, there's still time.

The Three Thousand Realms
Tower is about to mature.

Everything is still in time!

Shui, look.

Someone with a death wish
is having second thoughts.

The power Dun Tian is using
to absorb the Three Thousand Realms Tower

has a flaw.

This is the chance

Yu left for us.

I'll hold him off.

You go to the top of the tower.

This tower is almost complete.

Dun Tian's been absorbing the power of all realms.

It will only make him stronger.

You...

Don't worry.

I'll do everything to stop him,

and I'll fight even harder
to stay alive and be with you.

Go!

You've opened the sea of Qi
and penetrated the immortal power.

It seems you also know that
this is the last moment

of your life.

You're really going all out.

A battle to the death.

As it should be.

A diversion?

You're seeking death!

Impressive.

You actually managed to use your mortal body
to forcefully pass through

the spatial gate I tore open.

I told you,

a battle to the death should be like this.

Quickly, to the top of the tower.

I'll k*ll you both at once!

Sword of Non-Attachment!

You've been with me for so many years.

Today, our souls and lives intertwine.

We swear to protect Ranran with our lives.

Shui!

Just focus on destroying the tower!

How are you?

Dun Tian!

It's over!

I won't lose.

Everything I've lost

will come back!

Foul and evil spirits
of the Three Thousand Realms!

I offer everything in this realm as sacrifice!

I offer myself as sacrifice!

Come on!

Feast on my flesh and blood!

Help me open the Three Thousand Realms!

You defied heaven!

Your crimes are unforgivable!

Dragon Goddess.

Immortals.

You've actually descended to the mortal world!

You sealed off the passage
from the Dragon Island to the Immortal Realm.

Fortunately, Xue Ranran and Su Yishui
destroyed the Three Thousand Realms Tower,

allowing us to arrive in time.

Dun Tian.

Your ambition ends here.

The Three Thousand Realms.

My Three Thousand Realms.

My Three Thousand Realms...

The Three Thousand Realms are an illusion.

Your remorse for your wife and children

is even more illusory.

My family should have reunited.

It's all because of you.

It's all your fault!

The affection that belonged to you
and the bond you had with them

had already ended and severed
when you watched them die before your eyes.

You're too selfish.

You abandoned them first, yet for the sake of

your own pathetic regret,

you dragged an entire realm to perish with you.

For someone like you, even if your wife
and children were to be resurrected,

they would see you as a devil

and avoid you at all costs.

I... I...

Mom, you made chicken drumsticks.

They smell so good.

Darling, dinner's ready.

Rong Yao.

Dad, hurry up,

or I'll finish all the drumsticks.

Yu'er.

Dad.

She's really eating them.

She won't leave any for you.

Wan'er.

♫ In March, we make rice milk ♫

♫ And bring it to our daughter for a taste ♫

♫ In April, we make wine ♫

Rong Yao!

♫ If you miss it for a day ♫

♫ You'll feel restless ♫

Thanks to your timely arrival, Dragon Goddess.

Otherwise, the consequences
would have been unimaginable.

If it weren't for you,
I and those guys from the Immortal Realm

would have been helpless too.

Qing Luo is seriously injured.

It'll take some time for her to recover.

The Dragon Clan has a long lifespan.

Even with severe injuries,

a hundred years of recuperation should suffice.

What I'm more worried about is you.

Not to mention your physical injuries,

the entire land

has been completely destroyed.

What do you plan to do?

Although the human clan has short lifespans,

we're endlessly regenerating.

That's right.

Together, we can surely
bring everything back to life.

Good kids.

I can't stay long.

I need to take Qing Luo and leave first.

If you have time,

come visit Dragon Island again.

You're welcome anytime.

Let's go.

Master!

Master. Ranran.

Stiffly Su.

Ranran.

You're safe and sound.

That's great.

Xi'er.

We should be happy that Master
and Ranran are both okay.

Stop crying.

Indeed.

They've also protected this part of the world.

It's a great joy.

Good.

It's good that you're both safe.

It's good that everything's okay now.

You risked your lives without hesitation
and saved all living beings

in the midst of danger.

You've indeed set a good example
for all Heavenly Sects.

Indeed.

Please accept our bow.

We are the same.

There's no need for such formalities.

We saved the world,
but it was also to save ourselves.

Moreover,

it was only because you all fought

outside the mountain
and risked your lives to protect it

that this land didn't become a wasteland.

This matter is settled,
but there's more to be done in the future.

Let's help the people rebuild their homes first.

That's the priority for now.

That's right.

We've all expressed our thanks.

Everyone, disperse

and get some real work done.

Sovereign Wei, you were severely injured.

Are you able to walk now?

Even if I can't, I have to.

My bones were already broken,

and I was thrown out of that space.

So unlucky.

I protected his vital meridians.

Even severe injuries won't be a problem.

You make it sound so easy.

I'm in a lot of pain.

Forget it.

I won't argue with you.

They say the Celestial Sect is a Demonic Sect,

but Sovereign Wei and Elder Tu,

you showed great righteousness
in the face of adversity.

Even we of the Heavenly Sects are not comparable.

From today on, immortal cultivators

will no longer be divided
into Heavenly and Demonic Sects.

As long as one does righteous deeds,
the universe is one big family.

Who's family with you?

We're still the top Demonic Sect.

I'm still the big devil.

You...

If you see me in the future
and dare to come greet me or pay respects,

I'll beat you up.

Ranran.

Yishui.

Do you have any plans?

Plans?

Now that Mount Wester has been
destroyed, it's uninhabitable.

If you don't mind, you can come
to Mount Hollow with us.

Although its spiritual channel is damaged,

it's still an immortal mountain after all.

The Eternal Sect is also willing
to accept everyone from the Wester Sect.

All the Heavenly Sects of the universe
are open for you to choose.

Ranran.

Come to Mount Cuiwei.

This way,

we can brew good wine together,

right?

Exactly.

Drinking from dawn to dusk every day,
wouldn't that be delightful?

Thank you for your kind offer,

but Mount Wester is fine.

What Shui means is that

Mount Wester will always be our home.

It won't be long before Mount Wester returns
to its original state.

When that time comes, we'd like
to invite you all to come and drink.

Sounds good.

Making me come all this way,

carrying two jars of
Mistaken Divine up Mount Absolute,

not even knowing what for.

And he's not even here.

Shui.

Su Yishui!

Today is the Qixi Festival.

I asked you to come up Mount Absolute
to see the lanterns.

Everyone else goes to the riverside
to release lanterns,

but you insist on coming to the mountaintop.

Why should my lanterns
be the same as everyone else's?

This Reincarnation Tree

means a lot to me.

This is where I want to be.

Alright, alright.

We've seen the lanterns. Let's start drinking.

Why rush to drink?

We've got work to do.

The lanterns have all been lit.

What else is there to do?

On the Qixi Festival,

when releasing lanterns,
you're supposed to write love messages.

Have you written any?

Fine.

Give me one.

I'll write some for you.

One?

I bought dozens of lanterns.

You want me to write on all of them?

I'm not a chatterbox.

How can I come up with so many love messages?

We have a long future

ahead of us.

Can't you write even a few dozen love messages?

If you can't write them well,
don't even think about drinking.

I'll watch you write.

You need supervision.

Why do I need supervision?

So many young Heavenly disciples

have been captivated by you.

Of course you need supervision.

Sovereign Su, you're no less popular.

Over the past three years,
countless female Immortal Masters

have been sending gifts
to Mount Wester like flowing water.

So, Sovereign Su, I shouldn't be
the only one writing love messages.

You should write with me.

Moreover...

Sword of Non-Attachment?

Alcohol Immortal and Liang Wumeng
searched everywhere for craftsmen,

and it took them three years to repair it.

If you don't write,

I won't let you have it.

Alright.

But forget about the love messages.

I have something I'd rather
do than write love messages.

♫ Ripples shimmer among the flowers ♫

♫ The wind plucks the clouds in the sky ♫

♫ Because of you, my fleeting life is filled
with endless thoughts ♫

♫ Since my lips touched your beauty ♫

♫ I envy nothing in this world ♫

♫ Even butterflies and swallows gift
us their graceful dance ♫

♫ If the full moon is destined to wane ♫

♫ If time is bound to change everything ♫

♫ Then I wish to follow you like a migrating bird ♫

♫ Never tired of gazing at you,
longing for you day and night ♫

♫ I wish to be with you forever ♫

Eat more.

♫ Braving every trial and tribulation ♫

Master, Ranran.

Bad news.

Just now, Sovereign Wei, Wei Jiu,
broke into Mount Wester.

He went to Consonance Palace to see Elder Tu.

You let her hide from Wei Jiu
in the Consonance Palace,

but she'll have to face him eventually.

Three years ago, she had nowhere to go.

We had to help her, didn't we?

Oh no.

What?

In front of Consonance Palace,

there's the new sword formation we just set up.

Wei Jiu doesn't have Mount Wester's token.

If he barges in recklessly,

the sword formation will definitely be activated.

Guardian.

Senior!

I beg you to see me!

I'm here.

What do you want to say?

Go ahead.

Senior.

I was wrong.

I was very wrong.

I came just to tell you that

I truly regret my actions.

I've raised many butterflies.

In the valley to the west

of Mount Scarlet Flame,

I've raised many butterflies for you.

Now,

that place is called Butterfly Valley.

You don't have to avoid
the Celestial Sect because of me.

I'm leaving.

If you ever return to Mount Scarlet Flame,

please go and see it.

My wish has been fulfilled.

Let's

part ways here.

Are you abandoning our sect?

Where are you going?

To seclude myself and reflect on my mistakes.

You can't leave.

The old sovereign entrusted everything to you,

yet you're hiding away to reflect?

You're just slacking off, aren't you?

If you truly want to reflect,
make amends for your past mistakes

and revitalize the Demonic Sect.

It's not that I don't want to.

It's just that in the past,

you were always there, fighting by my side.

But now, I've lost the person

I relied on the most.

I'm too ashamed to revitalize the Demonic Sect.

Fine.

One year.

I'll help you for one year.

If during this year,

your actions

live up to the old sovereign's trust,

I'll extend it for another year.

Until I'm sure

you've completely reformed.

Really?

Don't think this means I've forgiven you.

I just don't want

to let the old sovereign down. That's all.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

I'll take you...

No,

I'll welcome you back right now.

You're always like this,

covered in wounds.

I wonder if you're doing this on purpose,
trying to soften my heart.

I wouldn't dare.

I...

I wouldn't dare.

Bai Baishan.

From today onwards, the position
of Wester Sect's sovereign

will be entrusted to you.

Master.

Have I done something wrong again?

You've done well these years.

What wrongdoing are you talking about?

Please rise.

It's just that I no longer want
to be the sovereign of Wester Sect.

You are the senior disciple of Wester Sect,
so of course you should succeed me.

Master.

I've made a grave mistake in the past.

Senior Bai.

Who doesn't make mistakes?

You've been working day and night,

tirelessly rebuilding Mount Wester
for the past three years.

Everyone admires you for it.

The position of sovereign is rightfully yours.

It's only fitting.

Stop making excuses.

Do you want to break
the lineage of Wester Sect?

Accept the token.

[Wester Sect]

I'll definitely make Wester Sect

prosper and flourish.

Our Wester Sect doesn't have to be too prosperous.

Just let it be as it may.

I'll do my best.

Here's the guest list

[Guest List]

[Gift List]

and gift list for the wedding banquet.

Wedding banquet?

Gift list?

We promised each other three years ago
to get married after Mount Wester was rebuilt.

Now it's time.

My wedding with Ranran

will be held at Mount Wester.

No wonder so many boxes were brought in today.

It turns out they were part
of the wedding preparations.

It's a great joy.

It's truly a tremendous joy.

Since this is the first major task
after I took over as sovereign,

Master, Ranran,

why not let me take charge

of the wedding arrangements?

Senior Bai.

The wedding is really too complicated.

It made my head spin just hearing about it.

My lifelong commitment with Master

is entirely in your hands now.

Everyone, be quick with your hands.

Work faster.

Be careful, don't drop anything.

Don't worry, Mr. Zeng.

What, our sovereign of Wester Sect

can't even handle this little task?

Mr. Zeng.

Please don't tease me on such a joyous day.

This is our actual wedding day.

We haven't even completed the ceremony yet.

Why did you come in here?

I've come to bring you your wedding dress.

I found a skilled craftsman,

and it took him three years
to complete the alterations.

I just want you to wear the most
beautiful wedding dress when you marry me.

You've planned it all out, haven't you?

For you,

I must

plan everything carefully.

We're getting married tonight.

Are you prepared?

How...

How should I prepare?

They say you were a demoness in your past life,

but now it seems

to be illusory.

Surely I'm not worthy of that name.

What, Sovereign Su,

does that mean you're very experienced?

Well, not really.

But for the past twenty-some years,

a woman has appeared in my dreams a lot.

She'd call me Shui

while seducing me.

Perhaps I've had so many dreams

that I've learned it by myself.

I've never heard of someone
learning this in their dreams.

Could the one who entered
your dream be a fox demon?

Then tonight, I'll carefully examine

how many fox tails she has.

You...

Leave already.

Don't disturb me while I'm getting ready.

The ceremony of entering the hall begins.

The bride, please enter.

♫ After parting, the black silk-like
hair turned snow-white ♫

♫ In secret, I've been missing you,
dreaming about you for years ♫

♫ Awaiting the destined love, a déjà vu so real ♫

♫ I'd trade three lifetimes of grandeur
for your one fleeting bliss ♫

♫ Gradually gravitate toward you by love ♫

Everyone.

What are you waiting for?

♫ Words are too weak to tell the whole story ♫

Quickly, block the door and ask
for the wedding money.

Right, right.

Here. Here.

The wedding money is here.

♫ Only after I met you ♫

Don't rush.

There's enough for everyone.

♫ Did I realize there are heaven-like
places all because of you ♫

Well...

Actually, I

♫ Maybe we have not only the past ♫

don't care for these worldly things at all.

I just want to bring some
good fortune to our baby.

Jiuyuan, it's all for you.

♫ But also the future with passion never fading away ♫

Saddle down.

♫ Write a long poem for the rest of our lives ♫

The bride, cross the saddle.

♫ We fulfill the vow forged through many lifetimes ♫

May flowers bloom in pairs,
blessings and peace abound.

♫ Maybe a lifetime is too short, too fleeting ♫

First bow to heaven and earth.

♫ So we were granted a second chance ♫

♫ Use our unfinished fate ♫

Second bow to the parents.

The bride and the groom bow to each other.

♫ Just because I'm destined
to reunite with you again ♫

♫ Intertwined fates throughout reincarnation ♫

♫ With endless time to write our story ♫

Ceremony completed.

♫ We fulfill the vow forged through many lifetimes ♫

♫ From now onwards ♫

I wish the newlyweds
a lifetime of love and respect.

May your hearts be forever in harmony.

Then we wish you a hundred years of good marriage.

May you have children soon.

I wish Master all the best.

As for Su Yishui...

Su Yishui, do more housework for Master.

You call that a blessing?

I wish you two

be companions in this life,

and continue your good fate for three lifetimes.

Good.

Then I wish you

fine wine

and no worries every day.

I wish Master and Ranran
a perfect match made in heaven,

forever united in heart.

Come on.

Let's all raise our glasses
to the bride and the groom.

Come on.

Let's drink this up together.

Everyone, enjoy yourselves.

Alright, let's drink together.

Sit, sit.

Come on.

Eat more.

What's wrong?

Are you tired?

I'll drink them under the table right away,
then we'll go to the bridal chamber.

But your alcohol tolerance...

I traded three jars of Mistaken Divine
with the Alcohol Immortal

for this Heavy Weight.

Master, Ranran.

A toast to you.

What kind of wine did you drink?

This taste...

Of course it's the wine
that will be useful for tonight.

You...

My dear.

It's getting late.

We should rest early.

[Carefree Pavilion]

Ranran.

Master.

It's been three days already.

Why haven't

Ranran and Master come out yet?

Ranran.

Master.

Master.

Ranran?

Our wishes have been fulfilled,
and we have no more desires.

We've left to travel the universe together.

Everything here is now entrusted to you.

If fate allows, we shall meet again.

Mr. Zeng.

What should we do now?

What do you mean, "what should we do"?

You're now the sovereign of Wester Sect.

The daily affairs of the sect
are now under your jurisdiction.

Without those two, the world goes on, doesn't it?

Well...

When will they return?

Perhaps

when they're tired,

or when they're homesick,

or maybe

when they have a child.

Who knows?

[13 years later]

[Wester Sect]

Mr. Zeng. Mr. Qin.

The new disciples who joined Wester
Sect this year are quite numerous.

Are you really not going to help me teach them?

I don't know any immortal techniques.

Look at my beard.

It has grown longer, right?

If anyone's going to teach them,
it should be Mr. Zeng.

Both the previous sovereign

of Wester Sect and the one
before him have left to travel in the universe.

You want me to take over this thankless task?

Moreover, you, the new sovereign,

are managing Wester Sect
in an orderly manner, aren't you?

As for us,

we'll just drink tea

and tend to flowers.

That's all we need to do.

Come on, let's have tea.

Cheers.

This tree was planted
by the founder of Wester Sect

for Sovereign Su.

Although the great battle 16 years ago
turned it into a dead tree,

we nourished it with spiritual power.

Now it has not only revived,
but it's even more lush and verdant.

This is the record of Wester Sect's sovereigns.

It tells the story of

Wester Sect's founder Mu Qingge

and Su Yishui.

I've heard

they are now traveling the world,
vanquishing demons and devils.

They truly are a match made in heaven.

I wonder if they've

attained ascension and become immortals?

Attaining ascension?

How boring.

In our Wester Sect's cultivation,
we never seek ascension.

We just want to stay in this mortal world,
eating, playing, and enjoying life.

Isn't that much better than being an immortal?

Brother, wait for me!

Hurry up, hurry up!

It's time to eat.

Mom.

The porridge spilled.

Shui.

The eldest spilled the porridge.

I've been cleaning, cooking,
and taking care of our third child.

Now you want me to take care of
the porridge the eldest spilled, too?

It can't be helped.

You drew the apprentice lot.

So of course, you're responsible
for all the housework.

Yesterday, when I was the apprentice,
who was the one playing Qin

while watching me fix the chicken coop,
getting my hands all dirty?

Fine.

You're in for it tonight.

Your luck with drawing lots has always been bad.

If we have a fourth child,

I'm afraid you won't be able to keep up.

Father.

Are the crispy pastries ready?

I really want to eat them.

Alright, alright.

I'm making them now.

They'll be ready soon.

You go play for a while.

Okay.

Don't stay in the sun for too long.

The meal will be ready soon.

As expected,

where the Divine Tree is,

that's home.
